“We asked Rachel to photograph our wedding in July 2022. From the beginning stages of planning, all the way until we received our photos from her, she was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. She had researched our venue and the surrounding areas ahead of time, to ensure that we would have the best scenery for the shots. The day of, she was so organized and efficient, all while feeling like she was just one of our friends, enjoying the day with us. She so beautifully captured all of the special moments in our day, and candid photos of our guests, which we had requested. When we received our photos back, we were able to relive our day, and see the memories that our guests made at the wedding. We were blown away with her work. We loved her photos and working with her so much that no more than three months later, we asked her to shoot another special event for us. Rachel is such a wonderful person to work with and an exceptional photographer, we can’t recommend her enough!”

“Rachel has been capturing special moments for us from the very beginning! From newborn photoshoots, to cake smashes, to family photos - she's been behind the scenes ensuring we can look back one day at all these special memories. Her work speaks for itself. Rachel has a way of just blending in and capturing candid moments. Needless to say, she makes all the effort of coordinating outfits and wrangling small children and four legged friends on location worthwhile. She is unbelievably easy to work with, incredibly flexible with scheduling, and super responsive over text or email. Our experiences are always relaxed and comfortable, and just get better every time. We couldn't recommend Rachel more!”

“I had the pleasure of hiring Rachel for family portraits in the winter of 2021. She was prompt, professional, and dare I say, hilarious. She was also quick to pick up on and cater to each family member's quirks (a skill essential to any great photographer working with different people at every photoshoot)! We hadn’t gotten family photos taken in decades and Rachel was invaluable in suggesting a location to take photos at, posing us effortlessly, and photographing us in a timely manner to minimize the amount of time we had to wait outside in the cold! The photos she captured were candid, yet professional—they beautifully captured my family and they are images I will treasure for a lifetime. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Rachel is, first and foremost, a close friend of ours. She is witty, passionate, and incredibly creative. For years we had admired her talent, which ultimately led to us asking her to be a photographer at our wedding. People put a lot of weight on your wedding photos and the photographer you choose, and we had full confidence in asking our friend, knowing she would take the challenge head-on. Rachel did not disappoint. She went above and beyond without a single hesitation, and her presence throughout was comforting and enjoyable. She was a dream to work with and captured so many photos that we will cherish our whole lives. We cannot recommend Rachel enough - she is a wonderful person and photographer.”

“As a wedding gift, friends hired Rachel as a photographer for our celebratory house party. Though one could imagine this would be challenging or awkward in tight quarters, Rachel made it anything but. Not only did it seem natural to have her around (she happens to be an incredibly kind and interesting person), but the resulting photos have been the talk of the town ever since. Both candids and posed photos were incredibly well-taken, easily expressing the life and emotion of the party. Whereas some photo sets come with a handful of gems, every one of Rachel's photos has remained a "keeper". If we could, we'd have her over for every event... Cannot recommend her enough, no matter the occasion.”

“Rachel was our wedding photographer and we enjoyed having her capture some of the best moments of our lives. She had to travel far for this occasion and worked well with us to accommodate her services. She was helpful in planning our photography timeline and generated beautiful photos for us! Her photography style aligned with our personal preferences for the event, and she was professional and cordial with our friends and family. Her photography ideas and suggestions were great and worked with our plan for the day. We recommend her services for any occasion because she truly cares about her artistry and the emotions it invokes!”

“Working with Rachel was such a breeze! She always had a smile on her face, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, she knew her stuff, was open to what we were looking for and was always up for a challenge. All of our pictures, from family photos to branding photos, turned out better than I could’ve ever expected and I will cherish those photos and memories forever. Thank you Rachel!”

“It all started back in 2019 when Rachel braved -30 degree weather to beautifully capture our outdoor engagement announcement photos. Fast forward to July 2023, when she documented a lake engagement party for my sister and fiancé. Most recently, we asked Rachel for a mini-photoshoot session at the Forks to snap some candid photos of our growing family. We LOVE working with Rachel. Her charm, flexibility, and expertise make every photoshoot feel effortless. My family normally feels uncomfortable taking photos, but she quickly puts you at ease with her direction and demeanor. She’s very responsive and was even happy to travel a few hours outside of Winnipeg for us. Her talent shines through in every shot she takes. She has a unique ability to capture candid moments that we could never replicate on our own. We will absolutely continue choosing Rachel for all our photography needs. Thank you, Rachel! We are beyond grateful for the beautiful moments you've captured for our family!”

“I’ve had many photos taken by Rachel over the years. Most recently she took some stunning lakeside photos of me while I was expecting my daughter, and captured some sweet family moments after she was born. You can always count on receiving amazing pictures that never look forced or overly posed. She’s great at bringing out a natural smile! Though I’d trust her with photography in any setting, I think her passion really shows when she is able to capture people “in the wild”. Thanks for everything Rachel!”

“I've personally hired Rachel 3 or 4 times for family portraits. Her professionalism and beautiful photos won over my own family and they have independently hired her for family sessions and weddings! Extended family photo sessions made excellent gifts for my mother and mother-in-law this past year. Rachel captured and delivered cherished memories that adorn walls in many of our homes. She is so easy to work with and comfortable directing people into the best shots. The result being a beautiful gallery of natural looking photos, never staged or cheesy. I can't wait to work with her again!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rachel for years now and have followed her work from the beginning. My husband and I got engaged and Rachel took our engagement photos for us. Then we were lucky enough for her to shoot our wedding. She is a natural, and goes over and above for her clients. I love that she captures natural moments rather than everything posed, half the time you don’t even know where she is and how she got the shot! Highly recommend her!”

“Rachel is a joy to work with! Not only is she reliable with her camera skills, but she is also a go-getter who doesn’t mind taking the lead when called to. Reliable and punctual, I was always at ease with her in the books! I appreciated Rachel’s ability to get a variety of candids (she is not afraid to “get in there”), and she would go above and beyond and provide posed shots of guests as well at times like cocktail hour when it wasn’t asked of her. For someone newer to the industry and using a camera, her ability to take charge and get the shot was a pleasant surprise! She is very open and willing to learn, and to be coached and directed, moving from assistant to being in charge if needed. I always looked forward to having her assist me at weddings, knowing I would not only have a skilled set of hands at my side, but also great company :) Rachel is definitely an asset to whoever is lucky enough to have her assist them!”
